I love being in choir because it gives you a chance to grow vocally and be in an amazing atmosphere with a bunch of your friends! It's so much fun!!
Name some of your favorite things, people, and/or places:
Well, my 5 favorite things would be: 1) Singing or performing in any way, 2) Hopping, jumping, or frolicking around, 3) making jokes with my friends, 4) watching hilarious movies and 5) drinking a caramel frappuchino from Starbucks.
I would like to see the amount of respect everyone has for each other improve. Everybody is different, but we all deserve the same amount of respect. No one is less than anyone else.
Anything else you'd like people to know about you?

1) haute couture, 2) fashion design, 3) Starbucks after-coffee vanilla mints, 4) family and friends, and 5) traveling.
What is something you'd like to improve in your world?
Actually, I'm pretty happy with my life right about now! The only thing I can think of would be going to college; that will definitely be an improvement.
Anything else you'd like people to know about you?
My life revolves around my future plans, which are to go to NYU for my under graduate in business and then transfer to Parsons New School of Design and get my post graduate in fashion design. From there, I'll get an internship with either Monica Byrne, or at Aeffe, Inc., and finally become a legendary haute couture designer. Look for me at Paris fashion week someday.
